What's On Tonight (Monday): I'm not going to talk to you when you're being so Irrational

 

Via Giphy.

Tonight's Top Pick is the series premiere of The Irrational. The show's sneak peek really wants you to know what a big deal it is that Jesse L. Martin is back on NBC. I mean, it has been 15 years since his 10-year run on Law & Order. Since the Frasier reboot will be on Paramount+, Jesse is as good as anybody to get the returning hero treatment.


Since Days of Our Lives is now on Peacock, is Deidre Hall still an "NBC star"? Discuss.


While I remember how much I dislike Rent (Sorry, Jesse!), let's see what else TV has to offer us for Monday, Sept. 25. All times are EST.
